Multi Keyboard Layouts
This application adds multiple additional keyboard layouts (for SFOS 3) :
English:
- English with a number row
- English AZERTY
- English AZERTY with a number row
- A customized version of the English layout (wider space button, long press for symbols, long-press symbols shown on each key, etc.)
- A customized version of the English AZERTY layout (wider space button, long press for symbols, long-press symbols shown on each key, etc.)
French:
- French with a number row
- A customized version of the French layout (wider space button, long press for symbols, long-press symbols shown on each key, etc.)
German:
- German with a number row
Arabic:
- A customized version of the Arabic layout (wider space button, additional symbols and emojis, etc.)
The number row shows emojis in its 2nd/3rd pages.
The new keyboard layouts should work automatically after installation (you can choose them from Settings). However, if a layout doesn't show up, try one of the following options : 1) restart the device, 2) use Sailfish Utilities to restart Home Screen using Sailfish Utilities, or 3) from the terminal in developer mode, login as root (devel-su), then type : killall maliit-server

Hi! I would like to contribute, but I would need some help to understand, how the XT9 system works. How can we get in direct contact?

You can propose a merge request on github with your layout. I'm not familiar with Chinese language to make one.

As you probably know, both openrepos 'apostrophe' patches don't work (sfos3.2.0.12)

Please add apostrophe everywhere it's missing.

These layouts are based on the default English or French ones. Default English doesn't have an apostrophe on its first page.
I'll sez what I can do. If you want just the apostrophe, there is a patch in openrepo that adds it to the default layouts.

I really appreciate your keyboard. My German layout has numbers as well. But what is superfluous is the numbers on the special character pages. On the first page the numbers are even shown in two rows. You may fill this pages with some common special characters.

Thanks, I am glad you like it. Yes indeed that's a good idea. I'll see what characters could be added in the 2nd page, and make a new version.
